With the threat of any imminent conflict with Iran eased for the short term, February gold
GCG4
-0.90%
was down $3.20, or 0.3%, to $1,241.40 an ounce. March Silver
SIH4
-1.09%
was down 11 cents, or 0.5%, to $19.80 an ounce.
Gold could stay under pressure for awhile, according to Yves Lamoureux
of market advisory firm Lamoureux & Co., who said the Iran deal is
“very negative” for gold and that it will finally “set the stage for a
bear trap.”
On Friday, gold futures managed to close with a slight gain, but that
didn’t stop prices from suffering their biggest weekly loss in 10 weeks
amid increased chatter over the imminent tapering of the Federal
Reserve’s stimulus program.
